Brand Lucas
Ignition Condenser for the contact-breaker distributor, of the Lucas type, supplied with a long lead (17-7/8 in).

Wired across the contact-breaker points, the condenser absorbs the surge of current as the points open, suppressing arcing to protect the contacts from burning and to produce a clean, strong spark at the plugs. The extended lead suits distributors with an externally mounted condenser.

Frequently asked questions

What is the RTC6621 condenser and what does it do?
The RTC6621 ignition condenser wires across the contact-breaker points in a Lucas-type distributor. It absorbs the current surge as the points open, suppressing arcing so the contacts don't burn and the spark stays clean and strong. This is the long-lead version (17-7/8 in) for externally mounted condensers.
Which Land Rovers does this condenser fit?
This condenser fits the Land Rover Defender and Series II/III with the 2.25L or 2.5L petrol engine and a Lucas distributor. It's specific to the contact-breaker ignition setup, so confirm your distributor is the Lucas points type before ordering.
Why does the long lead matter?
The long lead (17-7/8 in) suits distributors where the condenser mounts externally rather than inside the distributor body. Measure your existing lead before ordering, as the wrong length can make routing to the points awkward.
Should I replace the condenser with the points?
Typically one condenser is needed per distributor, and it's usually replaced together with the contact-breaker points during an ignition service. A failing condenser burns the points and gives weak or erratic sparking, so renewing both together avoids repeat problems.
